Hasanah
About This Funder
Hasanah is a UK-registered charity and technology platform established in 2019 to revolutionise charitable giving, particularly within the Islamic community, by connecting donors to vetted humanitarian and developmental projects worldwide through radical transparency and real-time impact tracking. Rooted in Islamic principles like Zakat while remaining inclusive across faiths, its mission emphasises ethical philanthropy, accountability, trust, fairness, and measurable outcomes, empowering communities via a digital feedback loop that ensures rigorous due diligence, live updates, and efficient resource allocation—retaining up to 12% for operations.
It prioritises thematic areas including education, food security, healthcare, microenterprise, poverty alleviation, and humanitarian aid, supporting catalytic interventions like microloans for rural women in East Africa, fruit tree planting in El Salvador, music training in South Africa, and health education in Kenya. Beneficiaries encompass vulnerable groups—women, children, people with disabilities, and crisis-affected populations—via grants to individuals, grassroots NGOs, registered charities, and community organisations fostering resilience, economic empowerment, and sustainable development across over 70 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, England, and Wales.
Eligible entities are UK-registered charities and community groups with strong local roots, robust governance, and trackable impact; no income thresholds or geographic base restrictions apply, though projects must align with Hasanah's vision. However, as of 1 October 2025, all grant applications, donations, and processes are suspended indefinitely—no unsolicited applications accepted, no deadlines, and no current funding available. Historically, grants ranged from microgrants to larger project, core, emergency, and capacity-building awards.
Distinctively, Hasanah differentiates through tech-enabled accountability and faith-aligned yet globally inclusive giving, avoiding unvetted or non-impactful activities; donors can specify preferences, but reallocations ensure stewardship. Check the website for reactivation updates.
